Prompt

Turn the study notes or learning material I provide into active-recall questions. My context: - Subject: [SUBJECT] - My age/year/grade or learning level: [LEVEL] - Assessment type, if relevant: [OPTIONAL] Use my material as the source. Create questions that make me retrieve the information rather than recognise it from a list. Build the question set in three groups: 1. Recall - key facts, terms, formulas, dates, definitions or steps. 2. Explain - questions that make me explain why, how, cause and effect, relationships or meaning in my own words. 3. Apply - short scenarios, comparisons, examples or calculations where the subject supports them. For each question: - keep the wording clear and appropriate to my level; - make sure it can be answered from the supplied material; - avoid trivial wording changes that test the same fact repeatedly. Do not show the answers in the main question list. After the questions, add a separate section called "Answer guide" containing concise answers or marking points so I can check myself later. Important: - Do not add facts that are not supported by my material. - If part of the material is unclear, flag it instead of turning it into a confident question. - Favour useful coverage over producing a huge number of questions.
